This beginner's guide to poultry management and health uses over fifty pure breeds to illustrate the various points to consider when choosing birds.

Within this programme Victoria Roberts advises and offers useful practical help on housing, handling, predators, feed and digestion, diseases and parasites, breeding, sexing, candling eggs and how to rear chicks. The programme was filmed at the Domestic Fowl Trust.

Victoria Roberts began her interest in poultry as a child. Following agricultural college, she ran an outdoor pure-breed enterprise that conserved and bred all the old poultry breeds. She is also a veterinary surgeon and has served for many years on the council of the Poultry Club.
